Change to the Supervisory Board of bmp Holding AG

- Gerd Schmitz-Morkramer stepping down from the Supervisory Board at the
Annual General Meeting

- eCommerce expert Sven Rittau to be elected to the Supervisory Board

Berlin, 10 May 2016 - The chairman of the Supervisory Board of bmp Holding
AG (ISIN DE0003304200), Gerd Schmitz-Morkramer, will be resigning from
office by his own request at the end of the Annual General Meeting on 6
July. He was first elected to the company's Supervisory Board in May 2003
and took over as its Chairman in June 2006.

Gerd Schmitz-Morkramer describes his decision thus: "I appreciate the
confidence that our company's shareholders have placed in me throughout my
tenure. After successfully shifting the focus of bmp, it is now time to
make room for younger candidates with experience in online commerce,
thereby clearing new paths for bmp's future".

His current vice-chairman, Bernd Brunke, will step in as replacement for
the chairmanship of the Supervisory Board. Bernd Brunke has been a member
of the Supervisory Board since June 2006 and has extensive knowledge of
bmp, as well as of the retail market.

The Supervisory Board will recommend that the Annual General Meeting on 6
July elect Sven Rittau to fill the board seat that will be vacant. Sven
Rittau has many years of experience in the field. Among other achievements,
he co-founded zooplus AG in 1999, where he served as COO until 2007. Since
2014, he has acted as Managing Director of K5 GmbH, a network for online
commerce.

"I am delighted that, in Sven Rittau, we have managed to pick up an
eCommerce expert for our Supervisory Board. He and his soon-to-be
colleagues Bernd Brunke and Michael Stammler will make an excellent team,
capable of effectively supporting the skills of bmp Holding AG", stated Mr
Schmitz-Morkramer.

Regarding the upcoming change, bmp Holding AG Executive Board member Oliver
Borrmann commented, "On behalf of the employees and the Executive Board, I
am sincerely grateful for the many years of unwaveringly professional and
highly dependable collaboration with our Supervisory Board Chairman. Gerd
Schmitz-Morkramer has truly embodied the role of Supervisory Board
Chairman, and we are all very appreciative of the strong support he has
always provided".
